could be any of a number of things, but i would start by making sure your battery cables are tight at the starter and at the battery, check that the solenoid wire is attached securely at the starter as well. check your fuses inside the cockpit by your feet and in the engine bay on the drivers side. check to see if the headlights go dim when you try to crank it over, if they do try hooking a jumper battery to your battery and try again.

there is other possibilities like a bad starter or ignition switch or clutch switch but i would start with my previous suggestions first.
